I missed Eczema Awareness Day. To be fair, I always miss it, but I’ve been thinking a lot about what it actually means to live with eczema. This is highly individual and nobody’s experience is the same, but this is mine.

It’s not just about the skin, the superficial, the seen. It’s the constant discomfort, itching, burning and dryness. The even more broken sleep and the awareness of your own skin that you can’t quite switch off.

It’s not being able to shower when or how you want because you know what hot water (or water in general), certain products or too much time in the shower might do, especially for the hours afterwards.

It’s thinking twice about the gym, sweating, what you’ll wear, whether your skin will tolerate another layer or another day of being uncomfortable.

And there is something about living with a flare that can make your whole system feel heightened. When your skin is constantly sending signals of irritation, discomfort or itch, it can be difficult to feel completely at ease in your body. Your attention is repeatedly pulled back towards it.

The skin isn’t simply a surface. It’s where we meet the world. And when that boundary is inflamed or uncomfortable, it can affect so much more than what we see in the mirror.

I’m fortunate that my eczema isn’t something I live with constantly. My major flare-ups tend to come every 5–7 years, but when they come, they can last for a VERY long time.

You can see the visible symptoms, but you can’t see the constant sensory input, the things you’re avoiding and dreading, or the nervous system that never quite seems to get the message that it’s safe to switch off.

Living through another flare has reminded me yet again that the body isn’t a collection of separate parts. They are all in conversation with each other.
Sometimes supporting the body means learning to listen to everything it is telling us, not just the part that happens to be visible.

RETURNING WITHIN - AUTUMN EQUINOX 🍂
Sunday 20 September · 10am–1pm
Cliff At Lyon’s, Celbridge

There are certain points in the year that invite us to pause. The Autumn Equinox is one of them: a threshold between seasons, between light and dark, between the outward energy of summer and the quieter months ahead.

Rather than rushing into the next season, Returning Within: RETURN is an invitation to return home.

A three-hour seasonal practice weaving together embodied movement, Yin Yoga, somatic exploration, meditation, deep rest and seasonal ritual.

And maybe more importantly, a time for connection. Tea/Coffee and Light refreshments are included too.

Bookings are now open. 🤎

PS for those on the Newsletter list there is a special discount included. If yet to sign up you can do so on the link in bio.

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗮𝘆 𝘄𝗲 𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗵 𝘆𝗼𝗴𝗮 𝗶𝘀 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗼𝗻 𝗮 𝘀𝘁𝘂𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗱𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗱𝗲𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝗴𝗮 “𝗶𝘀𝗻’𝘁 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺”?
As teachers, we have more influence than we might realise. When we teach a pose as though there is one correct shape, one correct alignment, one destination to reach, a student whose body doesn't fit that shape has a choice:
They can push harder to make their body fit the instructions.
Or they can (which often is the case) decide that yoga isn't for them.
And then we wonder why they never come back.

This isn't about blaming teachers. Most of us (including me) were simply taught this way. It's about becoming curious about what else is possible. Because when we understand that bodies are different: structurally, proportionally, experientially, our teaching can change.

We can stop asking, “Can you get into the pose?”
And start asking, “𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝘄𝗲 𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗽 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗻 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗶𝘁 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝗯𝗼𝗱𝘆?”
That is where I think Yin has so much to teach us.

It gives us space to slow down, observe, adapt and listen. And functional Yin gives us a framework for understanding why we are asking the body to do what we're asking it to do.

Ultimately, I don't want to teach students to become better at overriding themselves.
I want to teach them to become better at 𝙠𝙣𝙤𝙬𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙢𝙨𝙚𝙡𝙫𝙚𝙨.
And honestly…
𝘄𝗵𝘆 𝘄𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗵 𝗮𝗻𝘆𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗲𝗹𝘀𝗲?

With so many people making the most of holidays, family time and this beautiful stretch of summer weather, I’ve decided to move the Yin Foundations Teacher Training from August to September.

Over the past few weeks, it’s become clear that September will allow more people to fully immerse themselves in the training, without trying to squeeze it in between summer plans.

If you’ve already expressed an interest or reserved a place, you’ll have received a note from me with the updated dates. This will still be held in the same beautiful place, Cliff At Lyons, Celbridge between Friday 25 - Sunday 27 September.

If you’ve been thinking about deepening your understanding of Yin Yoga, fascia, functional yoga, the nervous system and a (re)-learning of how we listen to and feel the body, this is your opportunity to join us. Whether you’re a yoga teacher looking to expand your teaching skills or simply someone who wants to understand the body more deeply, this training offers a blend of theory and practical learning alongside the slower, reflective qualities of Yin.

Often the best thing we can do is honour the season we’re in and summer is asking many of us to slow down, be outdoors and spend time with the people we love. September feels like the perfect time to begin. Payment plans, 3-5 months available - if finances are still a concern, please reach out. Click the link for full details🍂

𝑅𝑒𝑡𝑢𝑟𝑛𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑊𝑖𝑡ℎ𝑖𝑛 🌑
A monthly New Moon practice to pause, breathe and reconnect.

Life has a tendency of constantly pulling us outward, towards responsibilities, expectations and those endless to-do lists. Returning Within is your space to turn your attention back to your own self.

My hope is to gather each month for three hours of mindful movement, nervous system care, deep rest and seasonal Ayurvedic wisdom all tailored for the season we are in. But it’s more a time to simply be and return back to your self and your body.

✨ 𝐀𝐮𝐠𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝗺𝐞: 𝐑𝐚𝐝𝐢𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞
Together we’ll explore how to cultivate energy that feels steady rather than exhausting, reconnecting with your own inner energy through movement, rest and reflection. Making the most of the summer before the routines start again.

🌀Sunday 9th August
🕙 10am–1pm
📍Red Roots Farm Retreat Centre, Killucan, Co. Westmeath
RED ROOTS FARM 

Includes tea, nourishing snacks and all props that you need.

Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, disconnected or simply craving a slower pace, I’d love to welcome you.

Spaces are limited. Book via the link in my bio.

"Yoga with Anna has been a game-changer for my stress levels"

Stess doesn't always live in the mind. It can settle into our breath, the jaw, the shoulders, the pelvis, our nervous system and the way we move through daily life.

Embodied Yin is a space to balance the constant doing and reconnect with the body beneath all that tension. Slow shapes, breath awareness and rest woven together to support regulation, grounding and a deeper connection to self.

A much quieter practice, perhaps even an uncomfortable one, but very often powerful 🤍

6 weeks before Summer - we meet every Wednesday 7.15pm in EmBrace Dance Studio, Enfield.

11/05/2026

For the longest time I thought healing meant to understand myself better. Through a very active yoga practice, meditation, weight training, loads of cardio. And mentally I was really strong but while this awareness matters, I eventually realised that insight alone doesn't always create safety in the body. When you don't feel safe, when your nervous system is constantly dysregulated or stuck in fight or flight/freeze shutdown mode your body starts to tense up. You can understand your patterns deeply and still feel exhausted, disconnected, overstimulated or unable to fully rest.

So much of my own journey has been learning how to come back into relationship with my body again. Through slow practices, like yin yoga and somatics. Practices that forces you to slow down but these practices also do something else. They work on your deeper layers in your body including the fascia. And the tense body I mentioned above? That is your fascia tensing up, dehydrated and stiff.

Balance is not about creating a life where you do it all efficiently (as very often portrayed) it's more about creating enough space to actually feel ourselves again. And from there know when to push forward and when to slow down.

If you are curious, Rest & Restore: Embodied Yin Yoga is on every Wednesday at 7.15pm in Enfield.

06/05/2026

Last 7 weeks before summer, with a slight change to time. Rest & Restore is now on 7.15pm on Wednesdays in EmBrace Dance Studio, Enfield.

Earlier time, slightly more active. Breath, diaphragm, rib cage and pelvis connection. Still slow, spacious and rooted in rest.

A practice that support your nervous system and bring you back into your body.
